our deepest fear poem

[buildthefarm]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

was watching something and it made me think of this, old songs and poems might be good thing to memorize so we can keep them with us just like we do with scripture. i can see being in a tough spot and something like this helping change your own attitude about the whole thing

i got a collected works of smith wigglesworth back in sept....and i haven't opened it up yet (other stuff popped up like the deere book....did u get that btw?) and so that is something i will max out along w/ the bible.... well, until i have nothing & then the song & memory thing will have to do... but even then i will sure ask the Lord to provide. if it is prophesied that people will pray and dinner will show up at the table, m thinking the sky is the limit. like smith always said 'dare to believe'!
